Are you a fan, GB?

Badly Drawn Boy was asked in an interview for the initials of the most difficult person he'd ever worked with. His answer was 'M.A.R.I.A.H. C.A.R.E.Y.'

And that's all I'm going to say, because I can't stand the woman.

Can't say I'm a fan, but a good entry all the same

GB, Another fine Job!

I didn't feel it was way too long or way too short, and it has sufficient before and after information even though her career is far from over.

The one thing I noticed missing was - along with all the nice words about being attractive and keeping fit - was her obvious problem with weight control. She does have a habit of yo-yoing.

And, if she's really 5'9", then it must be a significant swing from time to time.

There's no reason not to report her challenges along with her successes. Maybe you could find some definitive information on the subject to inclued.

Your choice, of course; but balanced entries are the best entries (as a general rule).

I thought this was balanced. OK, I'll work on it some more.

You didn't need to pull it GB, you could've stuck by your guns, don't forget these are only suggestions and you can't please all of the people all of the time.

OR

if you want to add to it then you could've done so while it was still in PR

Thanks Cal but I already spent three days on it, and I don't have any more time to give to it. I always hate it when people don't take any notice of the reviewers, or leave their entry in PR to fester.

GB it's not a case of "not taking any notice of the reviewers" it's one person's opinion



It doesn't mean you have to follow it through, this is your entry remember

GB at least give others time to comment, and see what they have to say before you decide to throw in the

GB, of course how you handle your entries is your choice. It's obvious that you are very busy these days with a variety of h2g2 projects.

We'll have to trust that you are putting your attention where you think it is most important, and will return to other items when you have what you feel is time enough to give them the attention that you feel they deserve.

I've been writing a lot of pretty light stuff, lately; my form of taking a break. I'm sure I'll be submitting to PR again soon enough.

I wish you the best on all your stuff,


PS: Gee, I wish they wouldn't throw me so hard!

I'm not throwing any towels, Cal. I'll tweak this and resubmit
